Hi Joan, Well, I can't comment on the present situation as I've been using AVG, (the free version) for some time. All I can say is: when using Norton Anti-Virus and System works I had all sorts of problems and when I changed to AVG, they went away and what's more, I discovered I had a couple of viruses Norton had missed. Yes, I had kept Norton up to date. Best. Robert. ----- Original Message ----- From: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 2:56 PM Subject: [access-uk] Joan Muir, Norton v AVG Hi, Folks, Put my name in the subject line since it's not showing names just now. The old chestnut, I'm afraid. I am thinking of getting a new computer. At present I use Norton and have been happy with it. However, I keep hearing that AVG is better and then I hear the opposite. Ok, what's the better antivirus? AVG or Norton? Best wishes, Joan. ** Going on holiday and want to halt messages?
